vparstatus2(1M)
For OA Based Partition Management Systems
vparstatus2(1M)
• Default: The summary format lists number, name, run-state, state, and resource totals. It is
displayed if neither the -v nor
-M option is used.
• Verbose: The detailed format lists number, name, run-state, state, and detailed resource assign-
ments, one per line with annotative headings. The
-v option produces this format.
• Machine-Readable: The
-M option produces machine-readable format which displays the same
information as the detailed format, except that field descriptive headers are omitted, and the informa-
tion is all on one line. Individual fields are separated from each other by four delimiters. The delim-
iters are all described later.
A related display,
-A shows all unassigned (available) resources, either one per line (default) or
machine-readable (
-M).
CPU Configuration (-d):
There are three formats for display of CPU configuration information, and they are similar to those used
for virtual partitions. If neither the
-v
nor -M option is specified, a summary display is produced. The
-v option produces a detailed format, while the
-M option results in a machine-readable format.
Three additional formats are provided for the
-r
, -w, and -Z options.
When displaying virtual partition related information,
vparstatus
includes the following:
• The number and name of the virtual partition.
• The state and run-state of the virtual partition. The state is either active or inactive. An inactive vir-
tual partition will be able to boot up as a single operating system. The initiation of the boot operation
changes the state from inactive to active.
Possible run-states of an inactive virtual partition are listed below.
DOWN The virtual partition is fully halted. This could be the result of a normal
/etc/shutdown -h command, or after it has been created.
ACTIVATING This run-state is shown when a boot is initiated on a virtual partition. This nor-
mally results in the virtual partition becoming active with a FWBOOT run-state.
DEACTIVATING This run-state is displayed while a shutdown/reboot of a virtual partition is
being processed.
RESETTING This run-state is displayed while a reset of a virtual partition is being processed.
MCA This run-state is displayed while an MCA of a virtual partition is being pro-
cessed.
DEFINED The virtual partition definition exists in the current virtual partition database.
ALT_DEFINED The virtual partition definition defined in an alternate partition specification.
Possible run-states of an active virtual partition are listed below.
FWBOOT The virtual partition normally reaches this run-state from the ACTIVATING
run-state when the virtual partition is marked as active. This is a transitional
run-state and normally reaches EFI run-state.
EFI The virtual partition reaches this run-state after the firmware boot process
launches the EFI shell.
OSBOOT The virtual partition reaches this run-state after the operation system is
launched. This is a transitional run-state and normally reaches UP run-state.
UP The virtual partition is in this run-state when the operating system is completely
functional.
SHUT The virtual partition is shutting down gracefully
DEACTIVATING This run-state is displayed while a shutdown/reboot of a virtual partition is
being processed.
RESETTING This run-state is displayed while a reset of a virtual partition is being processed.
MCA An MCA has occurred in the virtual partition and is being processed.
INIT This run-state is displayed when an INIT of a virtual partition is being pro-
cessed.
